Germany’s female leaders disband elite special forces unit
The German government - Chancellor Angela Merkel, Defense Minister Kramp-Karrenbauer and Agnieszka Brugger, a Green MP on the Parliament’s Defense Committee - has moved to disband an elite soldier unit.
Published: July 5, 2020, 8:56 am
Germany’s Special Forces Command (KSK) will be disbanded “over far-right links”, Kramp-Karrenbauer said. “We will give the KSK time to press the reset button,” she added.
Kramp-Karrenbauer announced structural reforms of the KSK unit, which include the dissolution of one of its four combat companies. And should the KSK fail to transform completely by the end of October, it will be disbanded as a whole.
A Deutsche Welle video report on the decision featured the testimony of a soldier within the ranks: “Someone made a joke about Jews. It was about long noses, things like that. Then someone else said, ‘What’s that, mate? You’re saying there are still Jews? I thought we’d eradicated them all. We’ll have to have another go at that.‘”
Defense policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group, Rüdiger Lucassen, criticized the dissolution of the elite unit Command Special Forces (KSK). “There is reason to fear that the measures that have now been announced will impair the operational readiness of our special forces in the long term,” said Lucassen.
At the same time, he accused Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (CDU) of failing to lead the Bundeswehr. The failure of the military and political leadership ultimately led to serious disciplinary offenses. “With good leadership, military training and the required duty of care of the superiors, a military association does not have to be dissolved.”
His party colleague and Berlin AfD parliamentary group leader, Georg Pazderski, complained last week that the dissolution of the second command company of the KSK would ignite completely unfounded general suspicions against all soldiers. “Kramp-Karrenbauer is weakening the troops, which are already struggling, by another low moral blow and is negligently jeopardizing Germany’s security.”
Kramp-Karrenbauer said that every KSK soldier had to decide whether he wanted to remain in the army by making the right political choices. A special representative will report by October on whether the steps ordered by Kramp-Karrenbauer were be implemented.
The greatest enemy of the Bundeswehr is now its own leadership it seems. The social upheavals that have shaped the public climate since the beginning of the migrant crisis, have also gripped the armed forces, testing the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Deviating opinions have been considered undesirable since the notorious defense minister Ursula von der Leyen’s remark about an “attitude problem” in the troops.
Again and again there has been talk of vast “right-wing networks” within the Bundeswehr, for which no proof has been provided so far except for one or two incidents outside the norm. And contrary to the regular assertion that the troops are “not under general suspicion” (according to the military commissioner Eva Högl), this serves to massively restrict soldiers’ rights.

A new law is being imposed stating that soldiers found guilty of a breach of duty can now be dismissed more easily during their first eight years of service and no longer within four years as before. This means a doubling of the “trial period” during which a soldier can be removed by the personnel office while not being entitled to a trial before the military court.
In addition, the period in which a soldier can be disciplined for an offense will be increased from six to twelve months and significantly higher fines will be mandatory in the future.
In reality, this means that allegations of alleged transgressions by individual soldiers no longer need to be substantiated.
While Kramp-Karrenbauer believes she has found an effective tool in the “fight against extremism”, the Bundeswehr Association called it “unfair and disproportionate”. The association sees the rights of its members sacrificed in favor of a media campaign.
This will be reinforced by a funded “reporting culture” in which soldiers spy on others and report in secret to superiors. To enforce this new Stasi-like system, the government will make use of questionable civilian sources such as the neo-Marxist Amadeu Antonio Foundation.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy

Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."
